Evaluation of lack activity consequences in spinal cord injured war volunteers at Khoozestan province

After Iraq -Iran imposed war; volunteers with spinal cord injudes have been facing lots of problems and complications, which are consequences of relative inactivity. To manage these problems we should use rehabilitative teamwork in addition to treatment and nursing personnel. Rehabilitation efforts can be directed to the entire spectrum of abilities, from directing only one's self care performed by others to being totally independent. The functional program should be accompanied by an educational program for the injured persons, their families, and their caregivers. Instruction is given in the recognition, prevention, and treatment of secondary complications of spinal cord injury.Adapting skills learned in the protective environment of the hospital to the home situation. Help the patient to gain a more realistic correspondence of barriers in the outside environment. It is important to reach a balance in these areas to prevent unnecessarily prolonging rehabilitation toobtain functional skills that are not obtainable or not needed.During this cross-sectional, descriptive study, we determine incidences of pressure sores, urinary calculus, urinary tract infections, spasticity, joint contractures around hip, knee and ankle joints, heterotopic bone ossification, and osteoporosis in thirty five available war induced spinal cord injuries in Khoozestan province, and finally suggest primary rehabilitative instructions to decrease secondary complications.
